Poetry Bus Poem - Hidden Star

Have a great christmas everyone.





Hidden Star

In Jerusalem the wise men followed,
the promise of something new,  
and man on clear black night looks up,
illuminates, review,

The wisdom of the life we lead,
the vastness beyond our world,
a hope , a dream, a memory ,
tempts,

That we might catch,
and dance and feel,
this place, our earth, ourselves,
tiny flickers dazzling bright,

elusive star above,
within a child’s smile shines,
wrapping lonely man,
and you and I, and they and theirs,

can grasp and share,
for  in the travelling see,
the gift of life,
the vibrant star hidden inside of thee.

  1. This has a really nice flow and I was held captive from beginning to end. Much food for thought.

  4. Excellent flow, and I love your play on the inner "divine spark" idea at the end. Very timely, indeed, as Karen noted!

  6. One for the week that's in it, okay! As Carolina says, it has a lovely flow. (Is it illusive or elusive? Or are they two different words?)

  9. Thank you for a poem that points out what happened many years in a sky over Bethlehem is still effective today. Someone here called it the divine spark, and that's what it does for me.

  14. One of the few with an overtly religious theme i think - I loved it - such a wonderful variety this week.

  15. The first line surprised me,I must admit. But with a childhood layered by catholism, I guess certain things come out when I least expect them. Thanks for a great theme.
